Okay, so this isn't exactly about T-40s. But it is about a red/rosewood/blade T-60 that matches my T-40.
As most of you know I'm one of the founding members of the International T-60 Owner's Club (ITOC) and a moderator for T-60 Mafia as well as here.
As most of you know I have a weakness for red guitars and basses. You probably already know that red/rosewood is my holy grail. You've seen my T-40 and you get the idea.
Okay... so a while back discussion was brought up at T-60 Mafia about a red/rosewood T-60 for sale in a city that I used to live in. Much like everyone else I am broke and couldn't afford to get it despite it being my holy grail.
Discussion went on for weeks and a joke was made about people making donations so that I could buy this guitar. I never took this serious and laughed it off as a good joke.
Well... yesterday I went to the post office to pick up something that ITOC had sent me. You guessed it. Someone or multiple someones in ITOC purchased that red/rosewood T-60 we had been discussing and shipped it to me.
Needless to say I am overwhelmed at the generosity of those involved in this. I have always said that ITOC and the T-60 Mafia was like family to me. This confirms what I already knew. The guys and gals in ITOC and T-60 Mafia are top notch.
So... I want to publicly thank everyone involved in purchasing and shipping my holy grail to me. You know how happy this made me. If they want to remain anonymous I can handle that, but I want them to know how deeply touched and grateful I am.
